The peculiar habits of parrotfish 🐠 After a long day chomping through rocks and corals for tasty algae, parrotfish have a unique way of settling in at night. Each evening, they craft a ‘sleeping bag’, or cocoon, made from mucus. 🫧 It not only keeps them safe from ‘bed bugs’ like parasites that can attach to a sleeping fish, but it may also mask their smell from night-time predators like moray eels and sharks.

Marine biologists have confirmed that the queen parrotfish (Scarus vetula) utilizes one of the most sophisticated natural defense systems in the ocean: a self-secreted "sleeping bag" of mucus.
